I make  large-scale wall installations of assembled shapes and abstract drawings which employ mixed techniques involving chalk, charcoal and graphite. My work delves into representations of place pulling from practices of mapping using drawing and collage techniques. Through the processes of accumulation and assembling objects, on one level, the work becomes a distillation of my physical environment on another a tactile representation.

Growing up in southwestern Manitoba surrounded by the prairie landscape I was unaware there were winters without snow and oceans that stretched as far as the fields around me.  

Little did I know then of the places I would live,  Angola, Kuwait, Malaysia, Libya, Tunisia, Ukraine and Oman or of the amazing cities  I would travel to throughout Europe, Africa and Asia.

Art and drawing have been my constant companion. 

I now reside full-time in Mazatlan, Mexico spending summers in Canada.
